FWIW, A&M has repeatedly offered and said that they’re willing to play UT whenever, but they’re busy being butthurt that A&M finally got tired of UT’s shenanigans and left the Big 12 for the SEC and nearly caused the conference to break up.
[Lou Holtz thinks Notre Dame is going to beat Florida State.

I haven’t had a chance to check the spread at a sports book yet, but I’m gonna guess that the Irish are not the favorites.
Oddly, the score tracker app on my phone has a line for every Top 25 game, except FSU - ND. No idea why.
One of my apps says it started Sunday afternoon at FSU -13.5, dropped as low as -11, now standing at -12. No o/u, though.
I wouldn’t touch this game, anyway. ND tends to be overrated (lots of subway alumni betting emotionally); whereas who knows where FSU’s head is at this week.
OMFG that sounds like a challenge! I’ll head to work early and put some money down on FSU… I’LL SHOW YOU! I’LL SHOW Y’ALL!
Lou Holtz would pick Notre Dame over the Seattle Seahawks, one week after last years SuperBowl.
Vegas has suspended betting on FSU-ND because they don’t know if Winston is going to play or not.
To late to edit, here’s my cite:
If the Irish were to win, would that add up to a complete roll-over of the top ten in, what, 3 weeks?
Almost. Notre Dame was number 9 after week 5 and Michigan State was number 10 and already had a loss but hasn’t lost since week 2.
While this is true, part of their repeated offer is because they know Texas can’t take them up on it (Texas’ OOC games are under contract for the next several years and unlike A&M, they can’t use “we changed conferences” as an excuse for breaking the contract). There will be a UT-aTm matchup in the future (face it, there is too much money involved). It isn’t a matter of being butthurt, but more a matter of seeing how the dust settles on the money issue in college football. The money is the deal, not whether keeping Austin weird is more important than keeping College Station normal.
To be honest, however, one major reason LSU and A&M are not top 10 teams is because they both lost to Mississippi State. Take the loss to State away from either and they’d be 5-1 and ranked with the likes of Alabama, Michigan State, Oregon, or Oklahoma.
We would have won, if we hadn’t lost.
The guys at the Venetian sports book have FSU at -9. No over/under yet tho.
And Baylor was preseason #10 and has moved up to #4.
<snert>
who wants to go out on a limb and guess that maybe, just maybe, Baylor will drop below #10?
There’s going to be several 1-loss teams in the top 10. Baylor didn’t exactly get humiliated.
Go 'Noles!
Every time I open this thread and see “Zeldar made me do it,” I am entertained.
What’s up with Stanford tonight?
The Top 5 teams in the AP Poll are within 450 miles of one another.
Four of them from the SEC. MSU, FSU, Ole Miss, Bama, Auburn
Oxford to Tally = ~450 miles as crow flies.
